Twins?

Lucinda yanked her arm and stood again, taking a few steps back. 

“As I said, you do not own me, Damon. I won’t stay here and keep listening to this. Excuse me.” She started to walk away, but Damon followed her and held her by the waist. 

“Lucy, come on. I’m jealous, ok? You are to be my wife and I don’t want you talking to that kind of loser.”

“He is not a loser, ok?” She took a deep breath. “Look, Damon, I know our parents want us to marry and all, but it does not mean we have to.”

“No, we don’t have to, but I want to. I want you.” He held her arm, making her stop walking. “Lucy, please. I want to be the man by your side.”

He was looking at her with pleading eyes, but she couldn’t stand him. Yes, he was dazzling handsome and most of the girls were falling for him. But Lucy couldn’t stand his personality. 

“I know. But then… please, let me be for a while. I need space. And you need to stop acting like this.” 

Damon remained quiet. At first, he was reluctant to marry Lucinda Fairfax. Her family had an agreement with his family and his father was pressuring him. When he saw Lucinda, he changed his mind immediately. She was gorgeous, and smart. The only problem was that she had too much brains and opinion. 

“OK, I’ll try. But you have to try to be with me, too.” He asked and Lucy nodded after a while. She had no choice, so it was better if they had at least a good coexistence. 

Once at home, Brandon is feeling very different. Lucinda, or how he called her in his head, Lucy, was amazing! She was pretty, smart and a good person. He liked to spend time with her, until her boyfriend, Damn, arrived. 

Brandon chuckled, sadly. He really didn’t have good luck, because the girl who seemed to be genuinely nice to him, without expecting anything and even almost got into trouble for defending him, was already with someone. But then, thinking about it he couldn’t remember one single moment she seemed happy around Damon. 

He shook his head, trying to avoid those thoughts, because they had no use, after all. Why keep thinking that the girl he was feeling attracted to had another man? Damon Montgomery was rich, handsome, older and everything a girl would want to have by her side. 

‘If you accepted to get back to your family, you’d have much more than him’, a little voice reminded Brandon, but he pushed it away. No. If he got back to his family and Lucinda decided to pursue him for that, he would be more than disappointed. And, of course, even with the money, he was still not as attractive as Damon, who was clearly a GYM guy, all muscles - but Brandon was taller. 

After his shower, he went to his desk to study and that was when he decided to look at one of the social media sites. He was not there, but it wouldn’t hurt to take a peek. Maybe if he kept his eyes on what was going on around the internet, he could be more aware of people not only making fun of him, but maybe even prevent being beaten and bullied. 

Brandon created an account and he saw Lucinda there. He saw that she didn’t have her relationship status visible, and her posts were very beautiful, mostly poems. A smile curled on his lips. She was a sweet girl. 

Then, he saw someone that was not that unknown to him. A young man that looked very different from Lucinda, but yet, it stated there they were brother and sister. Brandon knew that guy: Rindley Fairfax. 

They met years before, when they were still in elementary school and Rindley didn’t change a single bit, it is, he had matured, of course, but it was visible they were the same. And Brandon wondered if the young man changed his character, because he was something like Kayle, just more useless. And he remembered Rindley mentioning having a twin sister. Could that be…Lucinda? But they looked nothing alike! 

Brandon decided to keep looking at her profile later, because at the moment, he had tons of college homework to do. 

The next day, people were not messing with him and he wondered why. But, shrugging, he walked to the building where his first class would take place. Lucinda was already there and she looked even more beautiful. She lifted her eyes and saw Brandon, then, a big smile appeared on her lips. Brandon decided to walk to her, but Damon sat right next to Lucinda and her face sank a bit. Brandon felt like dragging the man out of the classroom and keeping him away from Lucy. She was not comfortable! 

“Hey there, Brandon!” Damon said with clearly fake enthusiasm. “Come sit around here!” 

What Damon really wanted was to keep his eyes on Brandon, just in case the loser tried anything funny with Lucinda. 

“I didn’t know you had this class with us.” Brandon said when he approached. “Good morning, by the way.” 

No, Brandon was not the talkative type, but for some reason, he didn’t want to stay quiet when near Damon, especially because the man was with his arms around Lucy's shoulders. 

“Morning!” She answered, happier and that warmed Brandon’s heart. 

“Morning, Bran.” Damon answered, his smile faltering. “And no, this is not a class of mine, but since mine was canceled, I decided to spend some time with my girl.” He kissed Lucy’s cheek. 

“I see.” Brandon sat in the chair in front of Lucy and started to unpack his belongings. He looked around and there was no sign of Kayle and his friends. 

“They got suspended for a few days.” Lucy whispered to Brandon and he nodded, without turning around. 

The professor arrived not long after that and the class started. By break time, Damon had to leave and he seemed uneasy to go, but his father called him. Brandon didn’t move, until he felt someone touching his shoulder. No, not touching, poking him. He turned around and Lucy was looking at him.

“Wanna go have lunch?” She asked and glanced at the door. 

“Sure. And Damon?” 

Lucy was already on her feet, and it seemed like she was in a hurry. 

“He won’t be able to make it. Let 's go!” Brandon didn’t answer a thing, he just followed her. 

Then, when they were walking to the parking lot, something occurred to Brandon: what if that was a trap? What if she was all nice to him before and that was nothing more than an act. She is the sister of Rindley Fairfax and for all BRandon knew, he could still be the same malicious jerk from the past. 

“Ah, Lucinda… I think I need t-” But before Brandon could say a thing, Lucinda, who was a bit ahead of him and had stopped walking to listen to him, was pulled to the side, behind a wall. 

Brandon leaned forward to run, but the doubt about her lying to him was too strong. Her little squeak made him snap out of the transe. It was better to get beaten than just stand by and do nothing in case the girl was innocent. 

Three guys were cornering her and Lucinda was glued to the wall, trying to avoid their touch. 

“Leave her alone!”
